new malt beverages

[Slickone]

Anyone tried any of these things? Any good?

Never did try Smirnoff Ice. Have seen another called DNA.
Have just started seeing Skyy Blue, and Barcardi Silver.

Not talking about all the nasty lemon ones (Mike's Hard Lemonade, etc). Bleh.

Smirnoff Ice is really good! Expensive, though. $1.80 each here in Utah.

Real men drink whiskey, bourbon, or a good dark beer. That other crap is for trendy "I'm so in touch with my feelings" girlie man types......

Dewar's w/ 2 ice cubes during the week and nothing less than 12 years on the weekends.

The last malt beverage I had was Zima and that was YEARS ago when it first came out. Something like '94, I think, of course I wasn't quite of the drinking age yet...

smurf tastes kinda funny. a nice 1554 (or anything else from new belgium, for that matter) or shiner bach is the beer-type beverage of choice.

 

[mztykal]

Ice tastes like a better version of Mikes Hard Lemonade.

I can drink Ice all night long and not get fvcked. Damn that sh*t is weak, but it tastes good.

What's the matter, can't handle straight vodka?

 

[Slickone]

Hmm, so these are like Zima?? The Skyy said it actually had Vodka in it. I like Vodka. Mmmm. Grey Goose.

I hadn't had a Zima in many years, but I used to like one w/ a meal. Would start tasking nasty if drank more than 1 or 2.

 

[pyonir]

if i had to give up Guinness and the like, my choice would be Zima. it tastes like water.

 

[ViperXX]

Smirnoff Ice tastes like vodka and 7-Up. Bacardi silver tastes like Smirnoff Ice but with less carbonation.

Anyone tried Michelob's Tan & black? I think it tastes pretty good.

 

[punkrawket]

if malt is your type of thing.... more power to you

i have to have a taste for it... otherwise regular ol beer or fancy beer is good for me

 

[Theslowone]

I like Smirnoff Ice, yes its not that strong but I can't stand the taste of beer, the new Barcardi Silver taste like an over priced flat zima to me.

Real men don't give a f#ck what other people think.

I tried smirnoff last weekend. I don't like the taste of alcohol AT ALL, and I was able to down 2 of those.
I also tried Mike's Hard Iced Tea and was not impressed...doesn't taste enough like tea, I think.

Mike's Hard Lemonade is still my fav, was able to bring myself to drink 3 before the taste started to really bother me. Still haven't gotten drunk/buzzed.

 

[Viper GTS]

I had a few Bacardi Silvers over the weekend, I like them.

Granted, my base to compare it against is relatively small, but I definitely liked them.

Maybe so, but them "trendy" drinks help you get to touch the girlies.

 

[Jzero]

Ice isn't too bad. I like it better than the hard lemonade stuff.
When I need a break from beer, I usually grab Chester's Hard Root Beer which is like drinking a root beer barrel. Note: It tastes like a root beer barrel--it's SWEET. It doesn't taste exactly like root beer.

If you want a sweet beer, try Hoegaarden or Tucher.
I often reach for Young's Double-Chocolate Stout when I need a change of pace but still want beer. The chocolate overtone is pretty intriguing although a lot of "uninitiated" beer drinkers will say it tastes nothing like chocolate.

For me that's pretty good. I also tried a sip of butter rum (or butterscotch rum, whatever), and spend the next five minutes making faces. Can't stand wine at all, champagne and even wine coolers are a bit too strong tasting for me.

That's not what the box says.

Not really, I don't have much interest in drinking/getting drunk. And I've only drank on two occasions now...my 21st bday and last weekend.

Real men drink what they want and don't worry about the other guys that drink stuff just to look hard.
Bacardi Silver is pretty good stuff. Pricey at the bar though. I can't afford to drink that stuff when I go out, so I stick with well drinks or Miller Lite.

it has nothing to do with looking "hard". although, it IS a benefit to the drink. 10 years from now, we'll still have beer, we'll still have scotch, and we'll still have [insert spiffy name] malt beverage.

...wam fuzzies...

GIRL DRINK DRUNKS...

Boilermakers are the only way to fly...

 

[Sir Fredrick]

<< GIRL DRINK DRUNKS... >>



That's me. Or would be, if I was a drunk.

 

[Cyco]

I tried Ice a couple of times, just seemed to me like an improved Zima (yeah I know, oxymoron)
